This past week I was gone on Tuesday but we had gone through sexual orientation a little more and the class talked about how people who may be transgender or gay are treated in other countries compared to how we in the United States handle the situation.
This week was very busy because we put on our culture day event in the old gym at the school. I thought that the turnout for our event was very good and it was exciting to see who was anxious to learn more and who actually enjoyed spending their time learning more about our country. I didn’t really try any of the other foods except from the Canadian section and it their food was very delicious! It is very interesting to see how countries are similar and how they are different comparing them to the United States.
On Thursday we were privileged enough to get to me Ed. Ed is a transgender who go to come spend some class time with us via skype and shared his story with us. I think this really opened my eyes and he taught me things that I may have never known if I wouldn’t have got the chance to listen to him speak. I feel like I was so sheltered in my high school. We had speakers but they were usually for bullying and what not and I think that if schools had more diverse speakers come in and talk to us maybe that would eliminate some bullying and then maybe schools would be able to have more diverse speakers in the first place.
Even though this week was crazy and hectic I feel that I did learn quite a bit and that it made me realize how much more I need to learn about someone before I judge them.
